*ISLAMABAD: *Prime Minister Imran Khan has sounded his optimism about possible improvements in the Washington-Tehran ties which have been currently at the lowest ebb after US President Donald Trump announced withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal followed by imposition of pressing sanctions.

The prime minister, in a brief interview with CNN’s programme hosted by Becky Anderson on Tuesday night, said during his visit to New York, the US president asked him “that you [the PM] should try and go between Iran and the United States”.
